Australian Alumni Network Croatia (AANC)

The Australian Embassy is keen to build an alumni network. We have found many people have links to Australia through many avenues but especially through study; either as a member of the diaspora or as a person who furthered their education in Australia. The growing relationship between Australia and Croatia will only benefit from there shared experiences. While this is not compulsory, we would appreciate it if you would join our network.

Being part of the Australian Alumni Network Croatia provides opportunities to network, support and promote important relationships built during your study in Australia.

Benefits

The Network promotes ongoing understanding, cooperation and research amongst its membership base and significantly increases networking opportunities for its members on a global scale. Network initiatives facilitate ongoing professional development opportunities for members, raising the profile of study or research conducted in Australia, and in turn, the alumni themselves.

Members are part of a community of high-achieving individuals, accessing the activities, events, contacts and benefits that can be gained by being part of a common network.
